Some air conditioner problems, however, indicate a more serious problem. So, it is important to know about some of the more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/common-air-conditioner-problems\/\">common air conditioner problems<\/a> and how you can avoid them. The top tip, of course, is to get your HVAC system checked and maintenance by a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> service team regularly. To schedule your next service date, get in touch with Galmiche &amp; Sons today.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Air_Conditioner_Problems\"><\/span>Common Air Conditioner Problems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evaporator_Coil_is_Frozen\"><\/span>Evaporator Coil is Frozen <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The evaporator coil in your air conditioner absorbs heat from the surrounding air. If it gets too cold though, the refrigerant inside will cause the coil to freeze, with a layer of ice forming on the outside. The ice blocks proper heat transfer and can cause a lot of issues for your AC. You can prevent this by ensuring proper airflow &#8212; in other words, not blocking vents, and looking out for number two on our list: duct leaks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Duct_Leaks\"><\/span>Duct Leaks <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Duct leaks can interrupt airflow, which often leads to even greater air conditioner problems. Checking your ductwork regularly for leaks is a good idea, and can also be a good opportunity to take stock of your HVAC system in general.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dirty_Condenser_Coil\"><\/span>Dirty Condenser Coil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Similar to the evaporator coil, your air conditioner&rsquo;s condenser coil (in the outside unit) cannot do its job if heat transfer is blocked. For the condenser coil, though, dirt build up is the culprit to look out for. If this happens, it can make your AC work a lot harder, increasing wear and tear. Keeping your outdoor unit clean and free of debris is one way to prevent this particular set of air conditioner problems. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/air-conditioner-problems-2-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"Top Air Conditioner Problems\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/air-conditioner-problems-2-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/air-conditioner-problems-2.jpg 485w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thermostat_Issues\"><\/span>Thermostat Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A sometimes overlooked issue is a faulty thermostat &#8212; or one that is simply misplaced or miscalibrated. You can prevent these air conditioner problems by using an up-to-date thermostat, and being careful with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/best-thermostat-placement-for-your-home\/\">thermostat placement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Low_Refrigerant\"><\/span>Low Refrigerant <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When your AC runs low on refrigerant, it will not be able to effectively cool the air, and your house might feel hot and humid despite running the unit. This is one of the more difficult air conditioner problems to fix, however, and it is hard to prevent. A technician should replace your refrigerant and check for leaks or gaps if you find your refrigerant is low.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Clogged_Condensate_Drain\"><\/span>A Clogged Condensate Drain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A clogged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/signs-of-a-clogged-ac-drain-line\/\">AC drain line<\/a> can lead to a whole host of air conditioner problems as well as issues like water damage and mold from backed-up condensate water. This can be prevented by keeping your condensate drain line clean with regular service visits.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Issue_with_a_Fan\"><\/span>An Issue with a Fan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fans in your HVAC system are also a common source of trouble. Worn out fan belts or too much debris can cause fan breaks and strains. This is another area where keeping things clean with regular service visits will help you prevent air conditioner problems down the road. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Assistance_with_Your_Air_Conditioner_Issues\"><\/span>Get Assistance with Your Air Conditioner Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are ready to address whatever air conditioner problems are ailing you and your family this hot summer, connect with our St. Louis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> experts today!
